A week after Jimmy Kimmel sang Manny Pacquiao’s official ring song, “Lalaban ako para sa Filipino” on his late night talk show, Kimmel sings it again! This time however, he sings it together with Manny Pacquiao himself.
In the same episode where Pacquiao talks to Dr. Phil about why he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather, Pacquiao appears in another segment where Jimmy tells him “I love that song. I’ve been driving everyone in the office crazy because I play it over and over again.”
He also asks Manny if it would be possible for him to sing “Lalaban ako” in the ring while Pacman comes in from the lockers.
It’s surprising how Americans are going crazy over the Lito Camo-penned, “Lalaban ako para sa Filipino.” Apart from being Kimmel’s current fixation, Esquire US calls the song, “a masterclass in in power balladry.”
